Desert Heat

Every year, college students head to a deserted motel, for a week of partying and shameless hookups as a break from finals. Stevie Shae plans to do the same with her boyfriend and 3 other couples. Desert Heat is a sexy and enthralling look into these couples' week long tradition of much needed release and hardcore sex. Little do they know, killer Tommy Gunn is on the hunt and the couples face fear as they've never known it. Death lingers upon them while the crazy killed murders one person at a time.

Directed by François Clousot, Desert Heat leans on a strong ensemble — Rikki Six, Stevie Shae, Kendall Karson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2014.
